NV Marc Hébrart Champagne Premier Cru Brut Rosé
8/6/2022 - fc1910 Likes this wine: 90 Points
A bottle to pair some prawns later that evening on our terraces,
Chard. 55%, PN 38,5%, Mareuil Rouge 6,5%, think that means red wine addition from 1er Cru Mareuil-Sur-Ay,
disgorged 18. January 2022,
my first try of this one, first of all:
very fresh first appearance, grapefruit, raspberry, salty and full of tension, one of the most invigorating young Roses, mouthwatering long finish, may get more balance and weight by more years in your cellar, **(*), around 89, 90(+)
Last third of the bottle today:
enormous freshness still, rhubarb in a very good way, great limy mouthfeel

CS dominated Cru Bourgeois,
nose little fruit left , only hints of some cassis,
on the palate a little lean, slightly tobacco, barnyard and underbrush, first was thinking about a light cork defect, but some sips later would say, drying out, austere, end of life from this Chateau and vintage, beginning to decline,
would enjoy last bottles with food, drink up, **-?, around 85/86

Served in the garden by friends of us,
good grip, zesty lemon, yeasty, well balanced, a NV to just feel fine and enjoy the afternoon outside, may get more structure with some additional cellar years, an easy 88
